GENERAL LOGAN's FUNERAL.


Solemn and impressive funeral services
over the remains of Senator Logan were
held in the Senate Chamber at Wash
ington on Friday, Dec. 81. There was
great throng of people present The Rev.
DR.. Newman preached the funeral SER
mon. The President was not able to
attend, but Mrs. Cleveland Yves present,
as we'll as the members of the Cabinet
and their wives. All the branches of the
government we're represented. The fol-
lowing description of the scene, trans
mitted to the associated press, is Of
mournful interest:
At 1910 the pail bearers took their
places and conveyed the casket to the
Senate chamber. The hall of the Senate
was tastefully, though not deliberately,
draped, and the chair of the dead Sen
ator, the second of the innermost row
from the center aisle, was covered with
Grape. The clerks desk was almost hid
den in bank of floral emblems, hanked
on the right and left respectively by
huge anchor Of white and an immense
representation of the badge Of the FIT
teenth Army Corps. Two or three hun
bred additional chaire had been arranged
iu rows for the accommodation of those
who had been invited to do honor to the
deceased.
The Senators came in singly or in pairs
and took the seats assigned them on the
left of the presiding officers desk, leaving
the three front rows vacant. At quarter
before IL o'clock, clad in their silken
robes of office, entered, without formal
announcement, Chief Justice Waite, and
Associate Justices Bradley, Gray, Field
and Matthews, together with the officers
Of the Supreme Court, and took the seats
assigned to them to the right of the pre-
siding officers desk. Behind them came
the members of the House of Represent
atives headed by the officers Of that
body, and were conducted to their seats
in the rear Of the chamber. The mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, many of
whom came in dress uniforms, were
ushered to seats upon the right, and be-
hind them came the representatives of
the administration, Secretaries Bayard,
Endicott, Whitney and Attorney Gener-
al Garland. The chair assigned the Pres
ident was left vacant. The galleries we're
completely filled.
The seats reserved for the family Of the
President were occupied by Mrs. Oleve-
land, Mre. Folsom, Mrs. Villas, Mrs. Man.
ming and Mrs. Lamont. At 10 o'clock
hush fell over the assemblage, and as
the procession of mourners entered the
north door Of the chamber, every occu-
pant of a seat upon the floor rose to the
feet. Mrs. Logan, heavily yelled, was
supported by her son, John A. Logan,
Jr. Major and Mrs. Tucker and their
son, Logan Tucker, Cornelius and James
V. Logan, brothers of the General, and
Miss Andrews, affianced OF John A.
Logan, Jr, composed the mourning pro-
cession. They we're ushered to seats
upon the left front.
Following the mourners came the
funeral procession, headed by Rev. DR..
Newman, the officiating clergyman; Rev.
DR.. Butler, chaplain of the Senate; Bish-
op Andrews, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and Rev. DR.. Tiffany, of Phila-
